课时作业B：能力层面
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2019·重庆市七校联考)Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you're in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK's largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.
The Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex has introduced a 720-foot. “Fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the festive rush. The centre's management team said：“The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don't want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”
The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the festive shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.
Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn't surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world.
“Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centres tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season，” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.”
The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include “Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely，“Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers” who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了英国一家大型购物中心在节日高峰期引进快速通道一事。
1．The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who ．
A．can't move quickly because of physical disabilities
B．buy things on their shopping lists quickly
C．take their time to do window shopping
D．want to leave the mall quickly
B [推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK's largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them”和第二段最后一句“The centre's management team said：‘The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don't want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.’”可推知，快速通道是为那些想迅速购物的人而设计的，故选B。]
2．What is Gary Mortimer's attitude to the fast lane?
A．Supportive. B．Indifferent.
C．Critical. D．Objective.
D [观点态度题。根据对第四段的整体理解可知，Gary Mortimer对快速通道进行了全面的评论，既肯定，又看到了潜在的劣势，因此其态度是客观的，故选D。]

(2019·沈阳市教学质量监测一)With smart technology increasingly influencing all aspects of our lives, it is only a matter of time before someone invents smart shoes—ones that can be made based on personal needs. Called “ShiftWear”， the sneakers are the brainchild of a team of businessmen, and engineers led by New York-based designer David Coelho.
The adaptable shoes can be customized by using a smart phone app. Shoe owners will have the option of selecting a design from a variety of HD patterns by famous artists or creating one themselves. The company's founders imagine the marketplace where artists can not only share but also sell their designs to others. Despite being electronic, the designs are clearly visible even in the brightest sunlight. What's even cooler is that by switching on backlight, users can even show their designs in the dark!
According to Coelho, the sneakers will keep their charge forever if only images are displayed. Though they will need periodic recharging, active users have nothing to worry about. That's because the shoes are equipped with special Walk-N-Charge technology that powers the shoes—with every step. Inactive users also have options of charging the sneakers without using wires.
The bottom part of the shoes is covered with Kevlar fibers, a kind of strong material, reducing normal wear and tear. Even better, they are completely waterproof(防水的) and can even be thrown into an ordinary laundry machine for a quick wash! The company predicts that the shoes will range in price from $150 to $1，000 depending on the size of the E-Panels where the designs are displayed.
This is not the first time that electronics and shoes have combined. Lithuania-based iShuh Technologies has come up with a similar concept that connects e-reader panels to a smart phone app via the Bluetooth. Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen, though they surely are attractive.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一种智能运动鞋。
5．What can we know about the smart shoes from the text?
A．The electronic designs can not be seen clearly at night.

(2019·兰州市高三诊断)Have you ever wondered what the real meaning of the saying “A friend in need is a friend indeed” is? 1 . True friendship is the one, in which the individuals do not have to maintain good manners with each other. Sharing true friendship is the situation, when the person you are talking about is regarded as one among your family members, when the relation you share with him or her reaches a stage that even if you don't correspond for some time, your friendship remains unchanged.
The trust between best friends is such that if one friend falls in trouble, the other will not think twice to help. If the bond between two friends is strong, true friends can tolerate even long distances. 2 . It would not affect their friendship.
3 . They would face it together and support each other, even if it is against the interests of the other person. Best friends don't analyze each other and they don't have to do so. They accept each other with their positive and negative qualities. 4 . They know each other's strengths as well as weaknesses. One would not overpower the other. They would respect each other's individuality. In fact, they would understand the similarities and respect the differences.
True friendship is marked by selflessness. Best friends support each other, even if the whole world opposes them. 5 . If you have even one true friend, consider yourself lucky.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。在生活中，真正的友谊不会拘泥于各种礼仪，朋友彼此间都以诚相待，会毫不犹豫地帮助对方。
1．G [空前一句是说，你曾经想知道“患难见真情”的真正含义吗；后一句解释了什么是真正的友谊；由此可推知，空处应是说很多人并不了解真正的友谊的含义。故选G。]
2．D [根据前一句中的“long distances”可知，此处叙述的是地理分离对双方的影响，这与D项中的“geographical separation”相呼应。故选D。]
3．E [根据后一句中的“face it together and support each other”可知，此处讲述的是真正的朋友会共同面对困难并互相支持，这与E项中的“don't desert each other”相联系。故选E。]
4．B [根据后一句中的“They know each other's strengths as well as weaknesses”可知，真正的朋友知道对方的优点和缺点，双方坦诚相见，故B项符合语境。]
5．C [根据空后的“If you have even one true friend, consider yourself lucky”可知，即使你只有一位真正的朋友，那你也应该感到幸运；由此可推知，C项“获得一生的真正的朋友并不容易”符合语境。]

3．Why [考查副词。与语境中的问号呼应，并结合下文的内容可推知，此处表示对原因的疑问，故用特殊疑问词Why。]
